I do not care 1902

"I do not care" (1902) by František Kupka is a satirical illustration that depicts a man in a robe, a young woman, and a series of parrots. The work is a critique of the social and political climate of the time, with the title referencing the apathy and disinterest that Kupka saw in society. The parrots, representing the "talking heads" of the elite, repeat phrases of social and political slogans, while the man and woman appear to be indifferent to the chaos around them. This piece exemplifies Kupka's early style, characterized by expressive linework and bold color, which foreshadows his later abstract works.
